Trouble digesting high carbs

[BenpMelton]

I’m a few months into the process, and I’m steadily gaining weight, but my digestion is starting to take a turn for the worse, specifically when it comes to starchy carbohydrates. I know we’re encouraged to keep the fats on the lower side and increase the carbs as a way to push calories, but once I pass 150-200g of carbs in a day I start getting bloating, gas, and other digestive discomfort that makes pushing the calories difficult.

My question is: would it be counterproductive to try and push the fats a little higher instead in order to remain in a calorie surplus, while minimizing digestive issues? I know carbs are more anabolic and more useful for strength and muscle gains, but being bloated and gassy and having a distended belly all the time is not worth it. I feel great when I keep the carbs around 200 or less per day, and add a little extra avocado, nut butter, etc to make up the the calories. No problems keeping the protein high, other than the increased satiety, but I can deal with that.

Carb sources are primarily white rice, sweet potatoes, and some fruit and honey.

Have you narrowed down which of these are causing the issue? Maybe try eating rice exclusively and see what that does. Then add the fruit or potato back in etc.
